2) SRAM → Screen Display: Displays data in the SRAM on the screen. * Use Sampling Data Display and Historical Trend Graph.

3) Write Data: Allows data to be edited or displayed in a bar graph or trend graph by writing sampling data into the LS area

in the GP.

4) Print: Prints out sampling data from the GP.

5) Save in CSV: Saves sampling data from the SRAM to a memory card in CSV format.
